The A68 near Fala in Scotland has been repaired in under a month after part of the trunk road was destroyed in a storm in the early hours of 12 August.
A 20m-high embankment collapsed, leaving a large gap in the carriageway. Road maintenance firm Bear Scotland cleared and stabilised the site and used an estimated 5,000 tonnes of rock to rebuild the embankment.
It built back the embankment up close to road level before phase three of the repairs commenced, including construction of kerbing, road drainage, the footpath and the roadside safety barrier. The surface layers of the new road were then laid down and road markings added.
